Steve,

I switched from Moneydance as you did about six months ago. The conversion went fine for me except the account balances were off. To correct for that I just went to each account that was off and entered an opening balance, at the very beginning of the ledger, for the amount that was it off by and then everything was fine and has been fine since then.

Hope that helps.

If you have any question regarding switchin form Moneydace to GNUCash you ask me directly if you wish since I have doe the same conversion.

Jack

Hi!

I’m just getting started with GnuCash and have imported my QIF file from 
Moneydance.  Excited to take it for a spin!
My question is regarding beginning (opening) account balances.  Moneydance has 
an opening balance field in the account setup window, but evidently that field 
isn’t accessible in GnuCash unless setting up a new account.
The problem I seem to be having is that the beginning balances that had been in 
Moneydance did not import into Gnu, so my accounts are off.
I am figuring I can manually enter an opening balance transaction for each 
account but wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing a more elegant (or obvious) 
solution.

Thanks,

Steve
